Voted "Most Feared" of all teams in the 1909 Brooklyn Division,
the Moscow Maulers strike trembling fingers of icy dread into the lily-livered opposition! Just last Saturday night, team leader "Moiderous" Marinoshka was overheard threatening the leader of another team.
"Just you wait," she bellowed, shaking her ham fist like a mallet. "We're gonna make Minsk meat outa youse guys!"
To which the other responded, "Why, I oughta..."
Okay. Pure Fiction. The "sports entertainment" later known as Roller Derby didn't really come into its own before the 1940s, its popularity egged on by none other than the great Damon Runyon, but hey....it coulda happened!
Wonderful Italian card, what appears to be a promotional RPPC of what was probably a great act. Nice unposted condition with a little rounding to the corners. Please examine our high res scans for detail.
The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
